NFL Power Rankings after Week 4 Games

1. Seattle Seahawks (2-1; Last Week: 2)

Seattle retains the top spot with the first three teams in these rankings on a bye. Strong timing from the NFL. Expect the Seahawks to stay around the top spot all season, so long as their pass defense keeps playing well. The Seahawks have been surprisingly strong against the run this year, and the offense is still moving the ball as it should. This team isn't as deep as it was last year, but it's just as good.

What will offensive coordinator Hugh Jackson have up his sleeve coming out of the bye? We've already seen wide receiver passes, heavy doses of Giovani Bernard and Jeremy Hill, and of course, jump balls to A.J. Green. Whether Jackson can keep teams guessing and keep pressure off quarterback Andy Dalton, the team's defense could carry it a long way this season.

Most of the NFL's top teams had byes this week, leaving more room for changes in the bottom half of our top 10 Power Rankings, and changes there were. Goodbye to New England and Carolina, who played like dogs. Hello, Detroit, and welcome to a world where someone thinks you're not frauds. As always, the following Power Rankings are subjective and only my opinion, yet somehow also objectively correct. --Jon Meoli
